The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Title: Your partnership in the gospel


If a Christian assembly is not immersed in the cause of the gospel, it has no other reason to be of one mind and, although meeting regularly in a common place, is really aimless and disunited. The congregation of the Lord Jesus should constantly breathe the gospel. Every nook and cranny of its organization, every joint and seam, every part should exude the good news, even possess a sacrificial attitude toward it, because it is the only hope for a condemned world, and those who would profit from it are adversely opposed to it.
